Experienced Landscaper – Great Team, Quality Projects & Room to Grow
Backbone Landscapes | Central Coast & Hunter Region
Are you an experienced landscaper who takes pride in your work and wants to be part of a company that's going somewhere?
Maybe you're good at what you do, but you're ready for a change.
You want more responsibility, more variety and the opportunity to have some input rather than simply turning up and being told what to do every day.
Backbone Landscapes is growing, and we're looking for experienced landscapers to join our team.
We work across the Central Coast, Newcastle and Hunter regions, delivering a wide range of residential landscaping projects.
Our work includes everything from complete new-build landscapes through to retaining walls, fencing, turf, planting, drainage, excavation, concreting and more.
We're looking for people who know landscaping, can think for themselves and genuinely care about producing a quality finished job.
Why work with Backbone?
We're building a company where good people can build a long-term career — not just another landscaping job.
You'll get:
Competitive pay based on your experience and what you bring to the team
Consistent full-time work
A good variety of landscaping projects — you won't be doing the same thing every day
Quality machinery, vehicles and equipment to get the job done properly
Opportunities to develop your skills and take on more responsibility
Genuine opportunity to progress into
Leading Hand / Site Leader positions
A growing business where your ideas and input are valued
A team environment where we want people to enjoy coming to work
The opportunity to be part of where Backbone goes next
We're serious about continuing to improve the way we operate, the quality of our work and the experience our employees have working here.
What you'll be doing
Depending on your experience,



your work could include:
Retaining walls
Fencing
Turf preparation and installation
Garden construction and planting
Drainage and stormwater
Excavation and earthworks
Concreting and paving
Site preparation
Operating machinery
Reading plans and setting out work
Running sections of jobs and helping guide other team members
There's plenty of variety, and experienced team members will be given the opportunity to take ownership of their work.
Who we're looking for
Experience matters for this position.
We're looking for someone who:
Has solid experience in structural and/or residential landscaping
Takes genuine pride in their workmanship
Can work independently without needing constant supervision
Can problem-solve and think ahead on site
Is reliable and turns up ready to work
Works well as part of a team
Communicates well with supervisors, other trades and clients
Looks after tools, machinery and equipment
Has a current driver's licence
Has a White Card
A landscaping qualification is highly regarded, but
practical experience, attitude and the quality of your work are just as important to us.
Experience operating excavators, posi-tracks and other machinery would also be highly regarded.
We're particular about who we hire
Skills are important, but so is the person joining the team.
We want people who
give a sh*t about the finished product
, help the person working beside them and want to be part of building a strong landscaping team.
If you're experienced, capable and looking for somewhere you can take on more responsibility and progress as the company grows, we'd like to hear from you.
Apply through SEEK with your resume and a short introduction telling us a little about your landscaping experience.
Even if you're currently working somewhere else and just curious about the prospect, we'd still be happy to have a confidential chat.
